Sometimes when we check the commit history of a software, we may see that there are a few commits that are really BIG - they may change 10 or 20 files with hundreds of changed source code lines (delta). I remember that there is a commonly used term for such BIG commit but I can't recall exactly what that term is. Can anyone help me? What is the term that programmers usually use to refer to such BIG and giant commit?
BTW, is committing a lot of changes all together a good practice?
UPDATE: thank you guys for the inspiring discussion! But I think "code bomb" is the term that I'm looking for.
